Fatal Beauty

Chapter 7

)Chapter 7(

I woke up feeling like a midget was banging on my head with a hammer. As soon as I was able to open my eyes fully, I knew I was still in Elijah's house. I groaned, and fell back on the bed. Face first into the pillow so I could drown out my angry screams. I heard the door creak open and said, "Go away Elijah. Not in the mood."

"Hon? Lainy?"

I looked up in suprise. "Mom? What are you doing here?"

She sighed and said, "Well Elijah isn't the best at keeping secrets. So I just came here to explain to you because you're probably wondering what the hell's going on. Well, your a witch."

I nodded and said, "Yeah I know I'm a witch but what does that have to do with Elijah and mine's agrument that he's a flipping vampire?" I looked out the window on the virge of tears. Then I realized that Elijah had hit me on the head and knocked me out! 'Oh he's gonna get it now." I turned to mom with a sweet, inocent smile on my face. "Where's Elijah? I need to speak with him."

"He's downstairs. Honey, he was only to trying help don't be mad at  him." I laughed a fake laugh.

"Oh I'm not mad. I'm just infuriated with him. It won't take long." I got off the bed and stomped down the stairs. "Elijah! Get you lazy vampire bum to the back yard! Now!" i yelled and went straight for the back door. I opened the door, then closed the curtains on the inside so my mom couldn't watch me beat the snot out of Elijah.

"You called?" I jumped up then placed my hand on my chest.

"Just because your a vampire doesn't mean you can sneak up on me." He chuckled and put on a crooked smile.

"What do you need?" I stared at him in disbelief. 'Does he think I cam down here to say "Hey whats up?" or "So your a vampire thats so cool. Do you sparkle?" Jeeze I'm gonna punch him'

"Hehe no, I didn't thin you came down here to say those things and good luck with punching me. You'll break your hand." I looke dat him confused.

"What are you talking about? I didn't say anything." Then it dawned on me. "You can read minds? Just awesome. First I find out that my best friend is a vampire, second I find out I'm a witch. Then third I find out my vampire best friend can read minds! Gah! Lets add 'I was adopted' to that misery in hell list!" I slumped down in a chair nest to Elijah with a 'hmph' "You know when that Stephen guy came, it all went downhill. Can we kill him? Please please please?" I pleaded. He chuckled and shook his head.

"As much as I'd love to have his blood spilled. We can't." I pouted and gave him puppy dog eyes.

"Why not?" He sighed ans squeezed his eyes shut. "Not right now." A humorless laugh escaped my lips.

"Well you might as well spill it because the biggest secret is already out. I don't see what secret can be bigger than that one."

He sighed and opened his eyes. "Stephen is my twin thats why I already know him." I froze with my eyes wide open and my mouth agape.

"But you guys look nothing alike!"

He rolled his eyes and said, "Have you ever heard of faternal twins?" I punched him on the arm and reminded myself why I came down here in the first place.

"Oh yeah, this is for hitting me on the head." I pulled my arm back and made a fist. Then let it go in contact with his nose only to hear a slight crunch under my fist. But I was more amazed at what felt like a breeze that pushed my elbow so it made my hand make a harder impact with his face.

"Ow! How did you do that without breaking you hand?" He said holding his nose trying to straighten it out. When his nose had healed, he slowly turned to me and smiled. He kept taking slow steps towards me until he was right in front of me. "Your ticklish right?" Before I could answer he had me by the waist and was tickling me. I sqeeled ,laughed, and cried.

"Elijah let me go!"

He smirked and said, "Oh who do we have here? Hey look Lainy! It's the Claw!" My eyes shot open because the Claw was a "monster" that him and me had made up when we were little.

"No! No! Not the Claw!" I screamed. He lowered the Claw around my thigh. My most ticklish spot. I know right? Weird.

After about four minuts my mom came out and said, "What the hell is going on out here?" We both froze and snapped our heads in her direction.

"Mom! He stated tickling me! He was being mean!" He looked at me then my mom. Then pointed to me the same way I was pointing to him. We looked like two toddlers tattling on each other.

"She started it! She broke my nose because I knocked he out yesterday!"

I put my hand down and looked at him rediculously. "Yesterday?" He put his hand down and looked guilty.

"Uh yeah about that. When I knocked you out, you were out for about a day and a half." He looked at me then threw up jazz hands. "Suprise!" He said sheepishly. Well, he more like whispered it.

"Oh I 'otta!" I went to go stomp towards him, but an invisible force stopped me mid-stomp.

"You two need to stop this fighting! You guys are best friends!" Said my mom. She had he hands extended out towards us.

"Are you doing that?" She looked at me then smiled.

"Yes hon. My element is air and you know my wedding ring?" I nodded. "Well, it's an enchanted magic enhancer ring." She put down her hands and snapped her fingers. "Oh that reminds me. Come with me." She hooked her finger then moved it back and fourth indicating me to follow her. I followed her into Elijah's living room. I sat down on his couch and waited for my mom to get something out of her purse. "Ah. Here it is." She pulled out a black shimmering box and held it out to me. "Here, this is what every witch gets when they find out what they are." I took the box like it was a dainty fairy in my hand. By this time Elijah was now craning his neck behind me to look over my sholder. I opened the box and was totaly flabbergasted. Inside was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen. It had one blue, green, white, and red gem acrossed it.

"What is it?" I looked up at mom, who was grinning ear to ear. Looking like a diranged chishire cat.

"It's a ring that, when you put it on one or multipule gems glow. Indicating what element you control. Blue means water. Green means earth. White means air. And red means fire. Now put it on." I took the ring out of the the plush, red fabric that lined the box, and slipped it on my finger.

But, when I did I became beyond confused.

Who would like to push me off a cliff in my sleep?
